In the early morning hours, Belmont Park greeted the day with quiet majesty. The horses are tucked into their barns for their race day rituals.

The tree is believed to be almost 190 years old and is a stately remnant from the 650 acre estate of New York attorney William DeForest Manice.

Churchill Downs Garden Tour a Horticultural Winner

Sometimes it’s good to go back to your roots. When I was a struggling college graduate, I took several jobs at plant nurseries. The manager probably thought I was barely qualified with my degree in music and humanities, but he let me suit up daily in a yellow rain suit and water the fuchsias. Later, I was promoted to planting color pots with annuals. I found the work stimulating and loved the deep, rich, earthy smell of the greenhouse every morning. My mom also worked in a greenhouse and we spent many wonderful hours talking about the newest trends in plants and flowers.
